Through live performances, screenings, DJ sets, and many other artistic interventions, this opening event gives a taste of what to expect for the Vorspiel 2020 program. Returning to Mitte’s longest running artist centre, ACUD, the opening will span the venues various spaces including the club, studio, theatre, gallery, and more.

As a prelude to CTM and transmediale festivals, Vorspiel regroups initiatives, collectives, and venues into a city-wide event series: two weeks of exhibitions, performances, interventions, and artist talks that explore artistic intersections of digital culture and society.

Vorspiel 2020 will then continue with daily events until 2 February 2020. Find the complete Vorspiel program here.
